A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
I don’t trust officials who use euphemisms … “returning citizens” is the politically correct term for ex-cons.
Sugarcoating doesn’t change facts – “returning citizen” is someone returning from another country.
Yes, there should be companionate leave for families touched by violent deaths and, yes, rehabilitation for ex-cons is a positive step to help them rejoin society after being incarcerated.
It’s the sanitized language that offends me.
Thanks. I needed to get up to speed on the acceptable terms: illegal immigrant is asylum seeker or migrant, and ex-con is returning citizen.
